HOWL R1 Portable Propane Fire Pit
The R1 is the HOWL we'd throw in a packed rig without thinking twice. Folded, it's about the size of a shoebox and weighs 10 lbs, so it slides into a drawer system, a van garage or a roof box. Flip the legs out, hook it to a 10 or 20 lb propane tank and you've got a 32-inch flame that runs roughly 8 hours wide open on a 20 lb tank.
Most compact propane pits hide a short flame behind steel walls and fake rocks. The R1 goes the other way. HOWL's A-Flame® burner merges 160 tiny emitters into one tall flame, and there's nothing around it to block the light or the heat. It's rated to 45°F, so think warm-season nights, desert evenings and burn-ban weekends rather than winter camps. If you camp colder, look at the HOWL R3 or R4 MKii.
Why We Carry HOWL
Tiny Rig Co is a Southern California shop that builds overland rigs, and we only sell gear we've tested, used on the trail and trust. HOWL earned its spot. Not sure if the R1 is enough fire for how you camp, or if you need BarCoal heat? Reach out and we'll help you pick.

In the Box
The R1 fire pit and an 8-ft regulator hose. Bring your own 10 or 20 lb propane tank.
Carry It, Mount It
The HOWL R1 HaulBag keeps soot off the rest of your gear and gives the hose its own pocket. Short on cargo space? The R1 RallyMount locks the R1 to a rack, ladder or Molle panel so it rides outside. Never light it while it's mounted to the vehicle.
Note: HOWLs are certified as campfires, not stoves, so they aren't meant for cooking.
